In the overgrown graveyard
Scarring over
In the ventricles
Of my haunted heart
Lies the tombstones engraved
In the oxygen deprived blood
Of everything that was…
Rest in peace
To the parts of me
That drowned
When I broke him,
To the parts of me
Still lost at sea
In the waves
Of that emotion.
Rest in peace
To the parts of me
That suffocated
Under her addiction,
To the parts of me
That weren’t enough
To just fucking fix her.
Rest in peace
To the parts of me
That lived to please
Everyone but me,
To the parts of me
That couldn’t see
That I deserved reprieve.
Rest in peace
To the parts of me
That were starved
By narcissistic ‘love,’
To the parts of me
That believed
His neglect
Was my fault.
Rest in peace
To the shattered
And deceived
Parts of me…
Rest in power
To the parts
That died happily…
And to the parts
Still hoping for redemption
From the grave,
I’m sorry
I couldn’t give you
What you needed
When you were still awake.
